It is #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek and the theme this year is Community.

Safe and supportive communities are important for those recovering, those caring for someone in recovery, and for those to recognise eating disorders signs and support that person towards the help that they need.

Eating disorders can be deeply isolating, but connecting with others can be life-changing. Whether your community is one person or many, every meaningful connection can bring hope, strength, and the reminder that #YouAreNotAlone
